The window seats overlooking Elephant Rock fill up fast, and regulars know to reserve one. Perched above Currumbin Beach, the Vikings Surf Life Saving Club runs a proper bistro, not a snack bar afterthought. The 300g porterhouse at $35 arrives cooked to order with crunchy chips and fresh mash, and the calamari has its own devoted following. Floor-to-ceiling windows and a large balcony mean you're eating with the ocean essentially in your lap, waves audible through the glass. Prices sit firmly in the affordable range, which explains why families have been making this a weekly ritual for decades. Service gets consistently warm marks across the board. The one honest note: the stairs in and out are steep, with no lift, so factor that in if mobility is a consideration.

Been coming here since the 60’s, have a huge soft spot for this Club. Our Family love to come here every week, it feels like you’re on a Cruise Ship looking out at the Ocean, so close. The food and service is very good and prices are very reasonable especially for Families. Thanks guys ❤️🙏

300g Porterhouse ($35): Served with 2 of 4 sides (chips and mashed potato) and a choice of sauce (pepper). In my opinion, you can’t find porterhouse in every steakhouses or bars but it is such an underrated steak. It’s cooked to medium rare as I wanted and chips are very crunchy, mashed potatoes are fresh and delicious. This surf club might have the best view among all the others due to it standing on Elephant Rock. Literally all of the window seatings had been occupied or reserved when I visited. Overall, mid range prices, decent quality and service, located near Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary, 9.5 out of 10!

I absolutely cannot get over how amazing this place is. The hospitality is out of this world, we are met with such kindness and our requests were met. The food. Oh. My. God. I’m having post calamari depression as I write this, pair it with a Malibu Coke and you have a summer meal. Topped off with the beautiful views. The crashing of the waves as you spend time with a loved one is something that should be experienced HERE. THIS IS THE PLACE TO GO!!!! Affordable, good, beautiful.
